SUCCESS STORIES
Alpine partnered with a prominent single-source wholesale leader in medical tooling equipment, known for providing access to thousands of products across numerous brands. With a dedication to delivering unmatched wholesale service, the company strives to enhance efficiency, speed, and value throughout the supply chain. However, they encountered a critical challenge: accurately capturing the dimensions of thousands of products—a key factor in optimizing operations within their Warehouse Management Systems (WMS).
This company was struggling with an oversized warehouse, inefficient operations, and poor storage alignment. Underutilized space, high labor and facility costs, and mismatched storage configurations are driving up expenses and limiting productivity and scalability.
Alpine presented Saint-Gobain with three tailored automation solutions, including goods-to-person and AS/RS systems, each designed to boost productivity and efficiency. A detailed ROI analysis helped identify the most cost-effective option, aligning automation benefits with both budget and long-term operational goals.
With Alpine’s support, Saint-Gobain transformed its warehouse operations by consolidating into a right-sized space, cutting costs, and improving efficiency. The optimized layout reduced labor, enhanced inventory tracking, and increased throughput, while minimizing reliance on third-party logistics. As a result, the company now benefits from a leaner, more scalable operation ready to adapt and grow with market demands.
